scorching sun do not have sunstroke as often
as persons of sedentary habits who walk on
the shady side Of the street.

Of sunstroke are a full, heavy feeling in the

Those who recover from an attack do so slow

for some time after, dizziness and faintness
coming on after the slightest mental effort,
while the full, distressed feeling in the head
continues for months afterward.
Sunstroke is best avoided by Immediately
ceasing all mental or physical effort AS soon
as the first symptoms Of prostratisn are felt,
and above all by avoiding the drinking
Of ice water when overheated. The head
should be protected by sunshatle, and

Grains Of Gold.

Diligence is the mother of good
luck.
Speak we'll of your friends-of your
enemies say nothing,
Happiness consists not in possessing
much. but in being content with what
we possess.
Experience is trophy composed Of
all the weapons we have been wounded
with.
Jealousy is the sentiment of property,
but envy is the instinct of theft
A happiness that is quite undisturbed
becomes tiresome; we must have ups
and downs; the difficulties which are
mingled with love awaken passion and
increase pleasure.
Every increase of knowledge may
possibly render depravity more deprav-
ed, as well as it may increase the
strength Of virtue. 1t is in itself only
power, and its value depends on its
application.
Never speak evil of another while
you are under the influence of envy
and malevolence. but wait till your
spirits are cooled down, that you may
better judge whether to utter or sup
press the matter.
Good-temper is the philosophy of the
heart gem in the treasury within,
whose rays are reflected on all out
ward objects; perpetual sunshine,
imparting warmth. light, and life to
all within the sphere of its influence.

autumn Care Of Meadow Land

Autumn Care Of Meadow Land
Meadows should not be closely
grazed at any time. and especially not
in the fall They need to have fertiliz-
ing materials added to instead OF taken
from the soil. Young animals are much
more injurious than mature ones. while
full-grown stock that are being fatten-
cd, and are fed rich grain rations, may
by their droppings add materially to
tie fertility of the soil, homegrown
ing stock withhold a large share of the
potash. phosphoric acid and nitrogen
Of the food TO build up their bodies.
leaving the manure comparatively
poor. On the other hand, mature fat
tening animals need very little of these
three chief elements of soil fertility.
Aside from the loss of plant food, the
close feeding of stock on meadow land
does mechanical damage. If the soil is
soft. the feet of the animals injure it,
and the close grazing pulls much of
the grass up by the roots. Meadows.
like winter grains, are injured by freez-
ing and thawing, and the plants need
to be in a vigorous condition in late
fall, with good growth Of aftermath
for protection from the frosts, winds,
etc. Well.rotted manure applied to
the meadows as top dressing will
strengthen the plants and insure a fine
crop the next season. This application
is best when made soon after the hay is
removed. Later in the season much of
the soluble material is washed out of
the soil by the fall rains. Quick-acting
manures should be used in the growing
season. otherwise loss is sustained.
Take good care of the meadows, for
they suffer greatly if abused. They are
easily and often injured by animals in
late autumn. Practical Farmer.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

A great deal of interest is conferred
in the crown of Germany throughout
its neigLbor powers, and even in this
country. The old Emperor William
is now 80 old that hia days are regar-
dcd as few. His eldest son, the Crown
Prince of Germany, large handsome
and kingly looking man of about 40
years of age, who has always been re-
garded as the coming ruler of that
great country is seriously affected
with a cancer in his throat which has
been growing worse so rapidly that
now his life is despaired OF, and he is
expected to die of suffocation almost
any day.
This condition of affairs tn en- brings
into prominence the oldest son of the
Crown Prince, Frederick William,
who next in order is heir to the throne.
Frederick William is only 81 years of
age, but is great admirier Of Freder-
lex The Great, and makes that old
warrior his model. Should he by the
early death of his grandfather and ia
Their, become Emperor Of G ermany the
peacable and home-prosperity policy
of his father and the Crown Prince
would be made to give way TO one OF
war and conquest. This ambitious
war spirit of the young prince is the
secret of the great interest through
out Europe in the succession to the
German throne.

What They Paid for Pianos

Mrs. Jay Geuld recently paid $25OO
for piano. 9. p. Huntington showed
his close istedness by only expanding
$1,000; and Judge Hilton, who also
desires to be fashionably expensive,
can't afford crack piano, got one for
the insignificant sum of $4,000. Inger-
soil, the chair manufacturer, dared to
pay $4,000 for a piano, and the late
Captain James b. Eads paid $4,000 for
one. All of these pianos had mono
grams in silver or gold, the best of
woods and deliberately carved designs.

A most appalling story OF the sea is
cabled from London, and is an account
of the wreck of steamer last Satur-
day in which over one hundred lives
were lost. The Dntch steamer Schol-
ton steamed from Rotterdam, and
when ten miles off Dover collided
with the steam Rosa Mary, of Hur.
tlepool. Life boats were ordered
lowered as soon as the disaster &C.
Cured, but it was fonnd that only two
were of any use, which fact becoming
known to the passengers created a
panic among them while they rushed
about in utter confusion seeking some
mode of escape. The accounts of the
accident from the officers of the two
vessels conflict, and 1t is hard to locate
the responsibility of the occurrence,
if, indeed. any blame Is to be attached
to the officers. The second mate oil
the fated vessel states that he was on
deck when he saw an unknown
steamer coming through the fog. Be-
fore anything could be done the
S:holen was struck in the fore rigging
and port bow. The other vessel
backed off and disappeared without
making any efforts toward saving life
and in twenty minutes the Scholten
sunk. The water was icy cold, and
the shriks and cries of drowning men
aud women and children were APP
palling in the extreme.

THE jury yesterday at Fort Worth
brought in verdict of "not guilty "
in the case against Alderman Tatum
for contracts between the city and his
lumber firm in which it was alleged
by some that he was guilty specula-
ton. The press of that city rejoices
at his acquittal and says he sold the
lumber cheaper than the city could
have bought II elsewhere. Several
others are to be tried.

IT is reported from Washington
that the strip of vacant land between
the Texas Panhandle and Kansas
known as "No Mans Land" is to be
opened for settlement this winter, and
organized in some way under the Fed
eral Government. 1t is too small for
State or Territory, and what shall
be done with it?" promises to be an
interesting question. Texas might be
willing to take 1t as a settlement Of
the Greer county question, leaving
Greer county the undisputed territory
of the Indians of the Indian Territory.
